I was so happy to have this wonderful jacket back in my closet - I immediately paired it with things I've worn it with before.
The newest addition is the yellow cotton blouse. It has enormous sleeves!
- Wool/silk blazer - Julie Haus, Fall 2011 RTW Collection, thrifted; last seen here in November 2025 with a swooshy skirt (worn only once)
- Cotton top - Zara, consignment; last worn here (2nd outfit) in September for Mom-Day in Sidney
- Crinkle skirt - Oska, consignment; last seen here in September with ruffles and Mom's vest that went to Jess
- Shoes - Wonders Ayers, Fluevog; last worn here in February with my $1,000-dollar sweater (and this same skirt)
It reminded me of the pops of yellow in some of the trees as the leaves turn and start to drop.
Showing my brooches.
And the asymmetrical lapel, a detail I love.
Incognito!
It was foggy all morning, then lovely and almost sunny on the walk home. This was just right.
The stuff:
Soft fall olives.
- Silk scarf - Echo, thrifted
- Wool fingerless gloves - Parkhurst
- Spike brooch - gift from Alison
- Shovel brooch - vintage 70s, Mom's
- Mink/pearl brooch - vintage, thrifted
Olive bling:
I found a little box with a few belts in it while I was digging in my tights - I'd forgotten about this cool link belt.
- Belt - Suzy Roher, thrifted
- Stone bangle - consignment
- Green stone bracelet - vintage mall
- Brass rings x 2 - vintage mall
- Necklace - Plum, c. 2004
- Earrings - thrifted, Seattle
Sorry, no kitty pictures today - they were very naughty this morning and tore down one of my solar light strings on the deck (they bit right through it!).
I had a puppy who chewed through an electric lamp cable. It could have ended badly. This is a really good outfit. The sizing of your blog is different as of the last two days. At first I thought it was on my side but other sites are still the same. Quite difficult to read on my phone.
ReplyDeleteI changed the view of my blog so it would be BETTER on a phone! Sorry!
DeleteTry searching for my blog "new" on your phone - it should be easier to read.
DeleteWow, yes, your blazer is unique and a marvelous piece! Indeed, your entire outfit is like a comfortable autumn day, neither too much in either extreme but simply just right. :-) I had forgotten about these particular shoes, they are quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteAs for naughty kitties, egads it's a wonder they didn't startle themselves into slinking to a hiding spot! I'm writing this Wednesday morning so two days to go till Happy Birthday! Cheers, Laurie
It's a very unusual piece, and therefore stays. I love those shoes, but they will be gone once I retire.
DeleteOh, they can be so naughty! I'm glad it wasn't an electrical cord (only solar).
Bad kittens!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this outfit Sheila, the proportions and that pop of your signature chartreuse is just fantastic! x
Thank you, Vix! This is more of a buttercup yellow, but it's still awesome!
DeleteHappy Happy Birthday!! I can't wait to see all your birthday looks! ~ella
ReplyDeleteI've planned some good outfits for this week, ella! Hope you like!
DeleteA lovely yellow blouse. Just don't wear it to Mom's to do jigsaw puzzles with those big sleeves! Our granddaughter had 2 pet rats and the first thing one of them did when it was let out after arriving was to run to the phone wire and chew it.
ReplyDeleteHa, I learned my lesson on that! Oh no! Vizzini used to chew all of our wires - that cat!
Deletewow, that's a wonderful jacket indeed, the assymetrical lapels are so cool!. And love it paired with the voluminous skirt and yellow blouse, and those yellow sleeves peeking!. And always perfectly accessorized!
ReplyDeleteWhy kitties like so much to chew wires (particularly the expensive ones!)?. ;DD
besos
It's such a lovely piece and deserves to be worn more.
DeleteThey just do! Cats!
First of all, wishing you a belated happy birthday. I've just realized it has come and gone by now!
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is another stunner. I'm loving the pop of yellow, particularly of the cuffs peeking out from the jacket sleeves. Very reminiscent of autumn leaves indeed! xxx P.S.Oh, those naughty kitties :-( xxx
Thank you! No worries, I celebrate all month. This was a fun outfit. The kittens are still very kitten-y!
Deletelove the pop of yellow! Great outfit altogether.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll forgive your kittens for their naughtiness soon enough. They are too cute!:)
Thank you! Yes, I forgave them, but now I need more lights!
